"We men talk, you little girl, don't interject!" "Starlight" flashed in front of the "Phantom Curtain", and noticed that the "Phantom Curtain" also carried a thermos pot in his hand, and he reached out to get it, "I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, did you come to comfort our people on night shift?" ”

"Get out of the way! Who cares about you! "Phantom" slapped Starlight's hand away in disgust, and held the thermos pot in front of Zero, his face flushed in the moonlight, "That...... Zero, I heard that you want to work the night shift together, and it's cold at night, so I brought you a pot of hot soup. ”

Zero took the thermos pot and said calmly: "Thank you, it's not early, you go and rest quickly!" ”

"Oh...... Okay, then you stay safe. With a look of disappointment on his face, the Phantom Curtain walked to the top of the stairs.

"That's it, a girl's family, hurry back and go back to sleep with a doll!" "Phantom Curtain" passed by, and "Starlight" said sourly.

"You have to take care of it!" "Phantom Curtain" stomped on the toes of "Starlight", as if venting all the depression in his heart, shook his head, and strode off the rooftop.

"Ouch! I'll go! This girl! The foot is so ruthless! Starlight shook his feet and exhaled for air.

"So I'm going to compensate you for this? Maybe she stewed it herself. Zero unscrewed the thermos pot, and the warm aroma spread across the rooftop, and based on the aroma, Zero judged that the hot soup in the pot was different from what they had for dinner.

"Okay." "Starlight" was about to take the thermos pot, but when he thought about it, he felt wrong, "Take it away!" Whoever wants that girl's soup, you are not afraid of dark cuisine! ”

"Hey! O young man! If you don't want it, then I'll be separated from the 'electric eel'! Zero let out a long sigh and said meaningfully.

"Good! All right! Can't ask for it! The "electric eel" understood and echoed it again and again.

"You've gone too far! Bring! Starlight snatched the thermos pot from Zero's hand and drank the hot soup in the pot in one go, "Hmph! Dare to mess with me! Not a drop will be left to you! ”

"Say no, the body is very honest! If you like it, just say it generously! Starlight gobbled up the soup, and Zero was amused to see it.

"Poof!" "Starlight" spewed out a small half mouthful of soup, "Who...... Who likes that violent woman anymore? Brother, don't talk nonsense! ”

Zero pointed to Starlight and smiled, "Look! My face is flushed! ”

"That is! The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders! All the 'cold-toothed' people can see that you are still pretending to be fine. "Electric Eel" unceremoniously punctured the lie of "Starlight".

"Count you ruthless! I'll admit it, okay! But ......" Starlight lowered her head and glanced at Zero, "You also saw that the 'Phantom' was thinking about ......"

"Haha! You don't have to worry about me! Zero patted Starlight on the shoulder, "That girl, it's not my thing, she's ...... me It's just that I just saved her life and made her hopeful. Little girl! Which is not fantasizing that one day, the prince will fall from the sky and save himself. What's more, I'm leaving tomorrow, I think, in a short time, we won't see each other again, after a long time, the enthusiasm fades, and the 'phantom' feelings for me will naturally fade. ”

"Makes sense! I'm relieved! Starlight nodded, suddenly reacted, and said in surprise, "Tomorrow? You're leaving tomorrow? Didn't you say you were going to stay a few more days? ”

"Yes! We still expect you to teach us! "Electric Eel" was also disappointed, he had heard "Ymir" describe the battle between "Zero and Venlos", if it wasn't for "Ymir", he would still be a fantasy, an ordinary person, he can do this, he is looking forward to Zero can teach the members of "Cold Fang" and help them improve their fighting skills.

"No way." Zero spread his hands, "The plan can't catch up with the change, I have an urgent matter for the next trip south." ”

"Urgent? Aren't you a traveler? Will there be an emergency? Starlight was puzzled.

"Travelers also have friends, and friends trust them, and they dare not slack off." Zero's reasons are reasonable, and "Starlight" is not good at forcing Zero.

"When are you leaving?" Starlight asked reluctantly.

"Eat breakfast and leave." Zero was adamant.

"If there is a situation, please contact me outside! I'll ask my mother about the guy you mentioned. In the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, William's figure gradually disappeared.

"Any clues?" In a simplely decorated room, Zhuge Fox sat on the sofa and asked.

"Nope." In the mirror, William's figure disappeared completely, Catherine walked to the desk next to the sofa and sat down, rubbing her eyes with the palm of her left hand, her mechanical right arm, lying quietly on the table.

"Zero." Zhuge Fox muttered Ze Luo's name, "Just like the big brother 'Yumir' said, such a terrifying powerhouse appeared out of thin air, or an ordinary person, no matter how you think about it. I heard that he offered to be on guard with Starlight tonight? ”

"Yes." Catherine took the mechanical arm to her and carefully carried out the daily maintenance, "You suspect that he is a pawn arranged by the 'Empire'?" Do you want to call him back? ”

"No need." Zhuge Hu took the tools, came to the desk, and assisted Catherine, "This person is unknown, but I think he should not be an enemy, let him go, we owe people several lives!" ”

"How do you know he's not an enemy?" Catherine stopped what she was doing and asked.

"Intuition!" Zhuge Hu replied simply, preoccupied with the maintenance of Catherine's mechanical arm.

"Intuition?" Catherine didn't seem surprised by Zhuge Hu's answer, "Whether it's an enemy or a friend, I think he'll leave soon, maybe tomorrow." ”

"How do you know?" Zhuge Hu asked in surprise.

"Secret!" Catherine said mischievously.

"Hey! When did the cold wolf sister become a child? Zhuge Fox sighed regretfully.

"It's not for you to be infected!" Catherine blamed coquettishly, hesitated for a moment, and asked solemnly: "Do you want to ...... the matter of Zero Notice, they? ”

"No need!" Zhuge Hu said in disgust, "You forgot? They're the same kind! Not a good thing either! ”

"But on the side of Lord William, you ......," Catherine stopped talking.

"Actually, intellectually, you are right, but emotionally, they betrayed us! If I want to work with them, I can't do it, at least, not yet. Zhuge Fox roared excitedly, but quickly calmed down, "As for Lord William, he is different, he has helped us too much, the point is, he is an outsider, if it weren't for him, we would have let that four-eyed spider play to death back then!" ”

Before the plane exploded that year, it was William who appeared and secretly rescued Zhuge Fox and Catherine, and found that Catherine's hand could not be restored, and it was William who found this advanced robotic arm for Catherine. Not only that, but while recuperating in the castle, William also gave Catherine a drop of blood, allowing Catherine to successfully enter the S rank.

Catherine, who has reached the S-level, has unparalleled insight ability, which is why Zhuge Fox believes in Catherine's judgment during the day, and as for the price Catherine paid, she has become a half-human, half-vampire existence.

"I won't hide it from you, I'm from the magical dimension, just like the 'Angel'." William handed the vial to Catherine, "I'm not human, I'm a Bloodline, what you call a vampire, a real vampire. My family is the supreme existence of the blood clan, and the reason is this drop of blood. ”

"This is my essence blood, it is the purest of the blood clan, the essence blood of the direct bloodline of the ancestor, drink it, you will have infinite potential, and even directly let you enter the S rank, and you can slowly learn the ancient blood magic engraved in the bloodline. But at the cost, you will become a half-human, half-blood existence, and as your strength increases, you will get closer and closer to the bloodline, and eventually, you will become a real blood race, no longer a human. Think about it! ”

The scene when William handed over the blood to Catherine was vividly remembered by Zhuge Fox, who locked herself in her room, thought about it for a week, and asked him: "If I am not human, will I abandon you?" ”

"May the hand of the son never be abandoned!" Zhuge Hu, who was caught in the memory, subconsciously read it out.

"I didn't hear what you just said, say it again?" Catherine was too busy to notice what Zhuge Hu said.

"Huh? No! Zhuge Hu deliberately lowered his head to hide his embarrassment, "I want to ask, didn't you say that you were going to fight with that Zeluo and probe the details of the other party, why did you change your mind temporarily?" ”

It was Catherine's idea to let "Ymir" take Zero to and from the forest, in order to find out the identity of the other party, but when she saw Zelo herself, Catherine gave up this idea.

"The reason is simple, I probably can't beat him, and it's hard to find useful information in the battle." After the maintenance, Catherine put on the mechanical arm and moved it, and the mechanical arm was in very good condition.

"He's strong?" Zhuge Hu asked very seriously.

Catherine nodded vigorously, "Very strong, how strong he is, I don't know, but his weapon, very strong." If I'm not mistaken, his weapons are from the magical dimension. The manufacturing method should be similar to the one I made those dragon-slaying weapons, so even if I hid it, I could sense the breath of that weapon. ”

"He said that the weapon was a gift from a friend, could it be Lord William?" Zhuge Hu asked.

"Not Lord William." Catherine said, "That breath is purer, stronger, and much older than Lord William's, and I suspect that the weapon was left by the Ancient Blood Clan, or even the so-called True Ancestor." ”

In the early morning deep in the forest, the air was exceptionally crisp, and the annoying gray clouds hid in the dark night on the other side of the world, driven by the sun, and Zero stood in the town square, enjoying the warm caress of the morning sun, holding a small half of bread in his hand, which was his breakfast. The original plan changed again, and Zero decided to set off as soon as the sun rose and hit the road with breakfast.

"Zero, didn't you say a few more days? Why did you only come for a day and leave? Is someone embarrassing you? The Phantom Curtain asked reluctantly, and then glanced around with resentful eyes, including "Ymir", "Starlight", Zhuge Fox, and Catherine.

"No, no, no! You misunderstood, although I only stayed for one day, it was still very nice here, and I was in a hurry to go, indeed entrusted by a friend. Zero looked at the "Phantom Curtain" with a depressed face, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "'Phantom Curtain', you are a good girl, but I'm sorry, it's impossible for me and you. ”

"Why?" Zero's sudden refusal gave the "phantom curtain" who was still imagining that he would be able to meet again in the future.

Zero knows very well that some things are decided when they are decided, and it is not good for anyone to drag them out without knowing why, "An old-fashioned reason, we are not people of the same world, the important thing is that I have a wife." ”

"Wife? No way! "Phantom" didn't believe it, Zero looked about the same age as himself, he was about to be eighteen, how could he have a wife?

"I didn't lie to you, I'm really married, I love my wife too, and I can only say 'sorry' again to you." Zero said very sincerely, and the "phantom" could feel the happiness, satisfaction and sweetness on Zero's face at the mention of "wife".

"How could it be! How could it be! We're still young, can't you give me a chance? Tears welled up in her eyes, and the Phantom Curtain tugged hard at Zero's sleeve.

Zero was ruthless and pulled away the hand of the "Phantom Curtain", "'Phantom Curtain', I am not destined to be the prince of your life, I am just a passerby, you are so hot to me now, it is nothing more than that I saved your life, and when you calm down, you will find that your impulsive choice may not be right." Remember, we are not people of the same world, and the people who are in the same world as you are by your side, cherish the people around you! Don't leave tears of regret in the future. ”

"You really won't give me a chance?" Phantom asked, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

Zero nodded vigorously and said, "It's impossible for us, if you can't give up, I think, 'Cold Teeth' is not a 'sober person' who is not good at mental ability." ”

Speaking of which, "Phantom" understood that she had no hope, she wiped away her tears vigorously and stood up straight, "Zero, goodbye, I wish you a smooth journey!" Leaving a farewell message, the "Phantom" turned and ran into the hotel.

"Hey, I have a headache!" Zero rubbed his forehead and pushed the "Starlight" who was looking at the back of the "Phantom Curtain", "What are you still doing here?" Don't follow up yet! ”

"Huh? Oh! Starlight reacted and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"Young man!" Zhuge Fox shook the folding fan and was full of emotion.

"You look old!" Catherine glanced at Zhuge Fox, "Fox, go back first!" I would like to personally see our guests off. ”
